Filtering for ranging days

Well, I'm not really sure but from my observations, the way I see SMA 84 is as a ranging indicator. When SMA 84 is in the river, flirting in between the river, usually the market is ranging (big or small) here are some examples :

1. The first picture (9JUNE2006). Yes, there is a break out at 1430 with a long Bearish candle. But I wouldn't go into the trade as soon as it breaks(to avoid spikes). Hence, I might SHORT at 1445 opening. Putting in mind that it is a ranging day, i might put tighter SL, or maybe even exited at the touch of Fibo.

2. The second picture (9JAN2009). A big ranging day. With closer look, you might catch around 100+pips on this day although ranging.

Ranging day in my very humble opinion should be look as a 'holiday' for trader (: or at least, declare it a NO GREEDY DAY.

*this is from my own observations. Not sure right or wrong. Maybe you guys can share some opinions.

Seems nice.

Can you provide backtesting\forwardtesting results? How many trades did you take?

Thanks

level backtesting

Dear PT,

I've been playing with the levels on 62MA. I tried placing levels on 21ma (as it is quite common) and the levels for that MA is 50,-50, 100,-100,138,-138,150 and -150.

138 and 150 are the levels I always look into as price tend to reverse there. It works in 1H but best with 15minute chart as price almost NEVER leaves the 150 lvl. Same like the original river, 138 and 150 is perfect for Take Profit.

Anyway, this is just my observations and I think we should wait for PT to post his revised rules (:

Cheers,

LSs

It would be great to see you back. I can't say enough about how positive the impact of just reading through your threads has been to my trading and subsequently my life!

Thank you again!
